RE:Seems like the play is officially overI think I understand what you mean....you may have bought around $12+ and think that it's over because it is trading at $8. Losing 30-50% in a gold stock however is quite common even when you have a bonafide winner like NFG. It has been tax loss selling season for a while now and those who bought higher will conitue to sell until early December. Most gold stock have not kept up with the general market and so tax loss selling will be even worse this year. NFG could drfit back to $6 in the short term, however in the long term (3-5 years) I think this will be a $40 stock. The gold market is just brutal right now and likely for a while yet...that doesn't mean it's over....no where near over IMHO....bull markets end in euphoria not like this!!
